The wicd daemon doesn't currently disconnect any active links when it terminates. Doing so results in wpa-supplicant being correctly stopped.
Attached is a proposed patch (I've also uploaded a build of the package to mentors.debian.net). I'm very new to Debian packaging and workflow, so please review carefully and give relevant feedback!
